I like Maxs, Parma, Cracked Pepper, Campagnias, Five, Kijima, Flemings (chain but my favorite happy hour burger) to name a few. I'll try to add later

No specific names, but one of the Basque restaurants that dot the central valley is worth trying if you haven't ever done so. These are more into quantity than quality but still it is worth doing.

I'd add Hunan Restaurant (locations in both Fresno and Clovis);
http://www.fresnohunanrestaurant.com/index.html

Limon (Peruvian from the same family as Limon in San Francisco);
http://www.limonfresno.com/
Trelio in Clovis (daily menu using many local and organic ingredients);
http://www.treliorestaurant.com/food-menu/
And I'll second the Cracked Pepper recommendation.

Great tri tip
The Dog House Grill on Shaw, across from the university has great tri tip sandwiches if you don't mind the sports bar/college decor.
If you don't mind the atmosphere (some what of a dump) you can get a great breakfast at Chubby's on First St.

Thanks to the LAX/SFO UA flight being delayed 3 hours (decided to rent a car at LAX and drive) I did not get to the Park(what a dump)Inn till almost 11 and at that point Sonic seemed a good choice
